Motility assay

Ad 13 ml of the motility agar (0.4% or 0.7%) per plate.

Inoculate the plates at the center with the Strain of interest (strain A).

For every plate inoculated with Strain A, inoculate a plate with Wild type (WT).

inoculations is done with 10 ul of liquid culture with an OD₆₀₀ of 0.4.

Grow the colonies over 16 hours.

After the 16 hour growth period the measure the spread of the colony every 2 hours.
